BRW Magazine launched the top 100 Australian Web applications in a feature section on Web 2.0 in 19th June issue. The article in BRW is only accessible online by subscription (check to see if your library’s databases have it covered), but the full list is available from Ross Dawson’s blog.
Applications are included on the basis of being predominantly Australian applications, not just content, web-based that create value from participation and which represent genuine innovation. There is further background including criteria and insights also available from Dawson’s blog in Early insights from the Top 100 Australian Web 2.0 applications.
Of the 100 listed, I know of about 10 and have only ever used a few and those not even regularly. Would love to hear of your experiences with any of the applications on this list and whether you think there are any others out there that didn’t make the list, but should have. I know I will be checking them all out in coming weeks.

I am amazed to hear that bugmenot.com is Australian!! wow.
Otherwise I’ve only been near three or four of these myself. Surprised that Edublogs.org didn’t get a mention though.

well, it is a site, innit, not an app as such. Answered my own question there.

And Dawson was interviewed on Radio National just prior to this – have just found the link in my feeds.
Enough from me – I’m off.
